IMPROVEMENT IN olLEes.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 33,75 l dated November19, 1861.

To fz when?, it may concern.'

Be it known that I, L. H. OLMs'rED, of Binghamton, in the county ofBroome and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Oilers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure l is a side elevation with a portion of the can and tube brokenaway. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

In this improvement the oil-receptacle is made semi-spherioal in form,so t-hat it may be stamped, cast, or otherwise made in one piece,without any seam, and all liability to leakage thereby be prevented. Thespherical form also tends to cause the oiler to maintain and assume avertical position at all times when not in use. The cover of theoil-holder is flexible, so that by pressure upon it the oil may beexpelled. The upper end of the oiltube is provided with aconducting-wire to lead back into the oiler any oil that may adhere tothe exterior of the tube after use.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

A represents the body of the oiler of semispherical form, which can bemade of malleable iron, brass, copper, or gutta-percha.

B represents the elastic top, which may be made of metal or any suitablematerial, fastend at its eXtreme outer edge to the semirspherical bodyby brazing, soldering, or oth- Having thus described my invention, Iclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent as an improved article ofmanufacture y An oiler made with a semi-spherical bottoni without seam,a fiexible cover, and a conduCting-Wire attached to the extremity of thetube, all as herein shown and described.
